About

My research addresses three fundamental questions in which I am impassioned to make a difference: (i) Do motor cortices dynamically represent context; (ii) How does the diseased or damaged brain produce movement?; (iii) Can we envision more stable neuromotor prosthetics? I believe we now have a technological platform available to achieve such an untethering of basic neuroscience experiments and believe we must formally approach fundamental brain science questions regarding context-dependence, natural processing of movement, and subsequently design optimized neuroprosthetic technologies informed and stabilized by this new information. Such an untethered neuromotor analysis platform will in parallel enhance our understanding of circuitopathies associated with neuromotor disease and insult, and may guide the application of appropriate neuroprosthetic technologies along the spectrum of cognitive diseases.
